Agreed. It's close enough.

Thanks DJ

I have made most of the amendments mentioned, bar the rounding of the necelles. (but you are right)

Trying to texture now and bam max 2011 has a mad new material editor..

Well I'll post progress when I work it out as it is completely different

Im sure they had there reasons. have a good weekend all.

Here's how close that model is, just based on the most recent pics. If there weren't comparison pics with the studio model, I would've called it as 100% spot on.

I dont like it to be honest so I found the option to change it back to the standard one. But I did find a good tutorial online to help get my head around all those wavy lines.

Runabout now finished Final Poly Count 5.5k Polies thats about 9.4k Triangles. Both versions will be released once textured.

Thanks.

Well man, that looks absolutely tops. I always loved the runabouts. Fabulously well designed little ships. You've done it justice here.

I'm really impressed! You've managed to keep the count so low! :O

Very nice Runabouts, I can't wait to see them textured.

GMunoz · « **Reply #73 on:** November 18, 2010, 11:16:17 PM »

This is Amazing, well done.

MarkyD · « **Reply #74 on:** November 19, 2010, 03:56:42 AM »

Thanks for all the comments and cookies fellas, mapping has already started and textures will begin this evening. Im going to go with a single 2048 sheet, and use a lot of clever mapping to use all the surface space I can to keep it looking sharp and detailed.

MarkyD · « **Reply #75 on:** November 19, 2010, 12:28:34 PM »

I retract my previous statement in regard to using a singular 2048 sheet, I will now use 2 as It seemed too pixelated on just the one but looks nice and sharp when spread over two. I am using DJ's Juno textures as a colour base for this model, and will also use the studio model for certain shades. I have decided to use alot of artistic licence on the textures too. Keep it looking the same and familiar but with more detail.

edit*

I have realised that I have missed some mesh detail, in regard to phaser strips on the front of the pylon and some rigged areas to the front of that mounted torp area, I will model them in before I get to mapping those areas rest assured.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #76 on:** November 19, 2010, 07:11:45 PM »

Looks good.

And I didn't notice anything missing. lol

She is definatly a studio model worthy creation there Mark.

086gf · « **Reply #78 on:** November 20, 2010, 12:45:17 AM »

Wow that is very detailed and for only 5 and a half grand poiles too.
